What Is the Difference Between Homologous Evolution and Analogous Evolution

question 87

Multiple Choice

What is the difference between homologous evolution and analogous evolution?

• A) With homologous evolution, changes in a trait happen over one or two generations; with analogous evolution, changes in a trait occur over millions of years.
• B) With homologous evolution, these are changes that occurred in single-celled organisms; with analogous evolution, these are changes that occurred in multi-cellular organisms.
• C) With homologous evolution, a similar trait found in different species is due to a common ancestor; with analogous evolution, this similar trait would have evolved independently in each species.
• D) Homologous evolution is the result of reproduction; analogous evolution is due to survival skills (e.g., food finding, predator avoidance).
